Using the GP-E2 GPS Receiver
When the optional GP-E2 GPS Receiver is connected to the camcorder's USB terminal, the
camcorder will automatically record the GPS information (longitude, latitude and altitude) and the UTC
(coordinated universal time) date and time to every recording you make (clips and photos). The
recorded GPS information can be checked on the clip information screen or photo playback screen
(single photo view).
Connecting the GPS Receiver
Turn off the camcorder and the receiver. Connect the receiver to the camcorder’s USB terminal using
the USB cable*. While recording, place the receiver in the carrying case* and attach it to the
camcorder’s grip belt or carry it on your person. For details about connecting and using the receiver,
refer to the GP-E2 Instruction Manual.
